The 8.4.2 documentation says:

"The default user name is your Unix user name, as is the default
database name."

Not so much. My one-click installer creates a user 'postgres' who
becomes the default user name...as well as the owner of the data file.

Is postgres arguing with itself here? Or at least in its one-click
incarnation on the Mac.

In Nikhil's world, I would say that the clients are pretty carefully
tightened down in terms of privileges. And apparently Vista has
enabled more tightening down.
